MRI is an evolving technology that requires frequent compliance updates to reduce potential risks in the MR environment. This program will cover the CMS hospital CoPs and TJC standards on MRI. It will focus on the American College of Radiology’s MRI guidelines, the National Quality Forum reporting, and TJC’s Sentinel Event Alert on MRI safety.

Our expert will use evidence-based literatures to guide attendees on setting up proper MRI safety protocols and training programs for their hospital. This is a must attend program for any facility with an MRI to bring their MR environment in compliance with current regulations.
